Morant, become Mo "difficult"!Grizzly bear, turn into a hapless bear!
On January 9, 2024, Beijing time, the Grizzlies officially reported that Morant underwent surgery due to a shoulder injury and was reimbursed for the season ahead of schedule.
The Grizzlies said: Morant suffered a partial dislocation of his right shoulder on Saturday and was followed by an MRI for persistent pain and instability, which revealed a potential right shoulder tear. This is devastating news for All-Star player Morant and the Grizzlies, as they have returned to winning ways under Morant.
Morant's reimbursement was like a bolt from the blue for the Grizzlies, and it also announced in advance that the Grizzlies were basically out of the competition for playoff spots this season.
Morant was first suspended for 25 games because of the gun-toting incident, and finally came back, only played 9 games, and suddenly the season was reimbursed.
The Grizzlies have been miserable enough this season, with key rotation players and bench players plagued by injuries one after another.
Jaren Jackson Jr. suffered a right knee contusion and was listed as a daily watchman, while star center Adams underwent surgery on his right posterior cruciate ligament and was reimbursed for the season.
Mainstay forward Brandon Clarke has also been out for 10 months with a torn left Achilles tendon, while substitute Rose has a tendon strain in his left leg and Sandy Aldama has a left knee contusion.
Objectively speaking, Morant's season reimbursement is indeed a very big blow for the Grizzlies, Morant is too important to the Grizzlies, with Morant, the Grizzlies still have hope of hitting the play-offs or even the playoffs this season. The Grizzlies currently have a 13-23 record and are 13th in the West.
Morant has been suspended for 25 games this season, and the Grizzlies have had a terrible 25-6 record this seasonBut after Morant's return, the Grizzlies immediately got on track and got back on the winning path, helping the Grizzlies to a four-game winning streak as soon as he returned, with a 6-3 record in nine games he played.
And in these 9 games, Morant's performance is also quite good, averaging 35 per game3 minutes, get 251 point 56 rebounds and 81 assist, 47 from three1%/27.5%/81.3%, true hit rate 570%。
